4 spatial dimensions doesn't imply anything about the 'direction' of time.
It would take more energy to heat things up though (unrelated kinda, but interesting, I'm taking the QI approach :p )
Unless by 4 dimensions you meant 3 spatial, 1 time. But it doesn't really mean anything to compare the two.
